Author Description

The Digital Transformation of banks is more important today than ever before. Banks now realize that they cannot compete with highly efficient digital native competitors unless they digitally transform, which entails a reimagining of many of the organization's business architecture and technology architecture components. Other banks are realizing the advantages of building a digital native - a digital bank that is not built on the challenges and aged foundation of a traditional bank’s business and technology architecture.The end goals in both a clean slate digital bank build and a digital transformation are similar, however, they both entail specific challenges and learnings which you can learn from in this book.The author, Evans Munyuki has many years of experience doing both: building digital banks from the ground up, as well as driving the digital transformation of existing banks.In this book, Evans introspects on the lessons he learned while building digital banks and shares these learnings and challenges to help you accelerate, make more efficient and make more successful your journey of building a digital bank. His learnings are applicable whether you are building a clean slate digital bank from the ground up, or driving digital transformation in an existing bank.While Evans has driven these actions in Banks, a Fintech company, a Tech Company, and a Services Company, the learnings are very practical, non-academic, hands-on, and they are equally applicable to any organization in any industry.
